Alvilági 0 - 3 CAFE (368494502)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 26017 that came out to Ördög Katlan. Arthur Dancer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sami Iinattiniemi and Climent Andreu. Alvilági decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. Starters: Liserre - Özbek, Sarno, Rabotkin, Kerekes, Anh Phú - Zbârcea, Virgil, Lauen - Schreier, Palmas.

CAFE had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Pongrácz - Papp, Tarr, Berca - Kolozár, Sasseti, Keino, Tóth, Jamin - Gazdag, Zenderowski.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Alvilági. It was an obvious ambition of CAFE to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Alvilági's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. L. Lauen of Alvilági received a yellow card after 33 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The visiting W. Zenderowski was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 37 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Rabotkin from Alvilági a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 38 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. CAFE claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Alvilági pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. The bench was restless, and with 50 minutes passed Alvilági's coach gave A. Korpa the opportunity the player had been hoping for. J. Kerekes reluctantly left the field. 51 minutes in, CAFE's K. Kolozár received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Some fine movement on the left led to a CAFE goal after 54 minutes, making it 0 - 2. G. Sasseti was noted down as the scorer. Alvilági needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 60 minutes H. Anh Phú made way for S. Allenbach. After 70 minutes, Alvilági switched R. Sarno with A. Újj, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, J. Papp would have put CAFE up another goal 77 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Z. Keino's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. Given a free kick in a difficult position after 85 minutes, CAFE tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. As usual, V. Rabotkin tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. A drive down the left side allowed J. Gazdag to get in close and score another goal for CAFE after 89 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of CAFE lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by CAFE, with 67 percent of the ball.

O. Schreier performed admirably for Alvilági. On the other hand, V. Rabotkin's play was disheartening. CAFE's best player was Z. Keino. K. Kolozár turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
